Paris, March 2S-A sensation has been

impossible. Germany by the chance oi
her states disuniting would suffer more
than any other power BY defeat; there
fore she has no course but to live on
good terms with RUSSIA and with us

of danger and we will not remain with

River gorges have never been much OF
study. They occur in the Missouri
river with each annual break up and
create destruction. Property is wiped
out and human life is sacrificed. They
hold back the mighty food of the stream
as effectually as the most completely
constructed dam. With each recurring
flood come accounts of gorges of ice
burdened with the expressed hope that
the gorge will soon go out. We have
gone through with many OF these ex-
periences along the Missouri river in the
years of the past and the present and so
far as our personal observation creates o
record we ore unable to point to single
authenticated instance of gorge going
out. There are now two gorges near
Bismarck--one above and one below
that city. Let the public keep its eye
upon them and see if they "go out. +"
Our conclusion is that they will not, but
that they will slowly waste away, under
the influence of sun, heat and friction,
and gradually dissolve into water. Prob.
ably the most considerable gorge of
modern times was the one which in the
spring of 1881 blocked with solid mass
office as much as forty miles of river and
held the flood descending from above
until it ran over all the low country ad-
jacent to Yankton with destructive force.
There is no one among us who can say
when that gorge went out, or that it
went out at all. The water gradually
lessened and the food subsided through
many anxious days and nights. Had
the gorge suddenly broken the mass OF
water would have been precipitated
upon the lowlands below and disastrous
results would have made memorable the
event. But below the Sioux City bluffs
there was no destructive food on that
| occasion. A gorge, SO fer as we have
observed the operation of such struc
lures, is disastrous to the low country
above it and along its sides and is pro
lection to the region below its site. /
holds back the water above the gorge
until the water below the gorge hal
partially run out and let's the accumula
ton above slowly through and arounc
the impediment. If this theory il
correct the river region below Bismarcl
has escaped more serious disaster tina
that which occurred because of the ex,
istence of the Bismarck gorge and th
country about Bismarck has been pro
tected by the Washburn gorge above.

prospective bankruptcy will be jus.
enough to give publication to this fact
-Blsmdrck Tribune.
Yet the fact remains that o million
and half was appropriated. Had the
appropriations aggregated only one-hali
that sum, the tax levy would have been
only one and half mills. IL is not be.
cause of the economy of the legislature
that the percentage of taxation is not in.
creased, but. because of the increased
wealth of the tax paying power. The
theory OF the Tribune is to keep the levy
at three mills whatever happensif tile
valuation foots up to billion, keep il
at three mills and er Joy a reputation fol
economy. 1t cannot be denied that
the press of Dakota has right to ex-
press itself freely upon the subject oi
territorial taxation and In their remarks
the newspapers have made no "wild and
aimless filings" They have only asserted
the size of the appropriations and used
past appropriations for purposes of com,
parison.

To tie Voters of Yankton.
The undersigned, acting under in
stTuctions from the citizens committee,
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the publio:s
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensified
By the evident tad results, in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that intelligent men of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection OF officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need. at all times, in the conduct OF
city affairs, of integrity, prudence,
sagacity and enterprise, qualities which
are not insured in the individual
aspirant for office, by the fast
that he has q large political following.
These considerations are especially for.
chile at this time, when our city gov
ernment is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time We
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests OF this commLni
ty may be committed to hands that ore
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risl
by putting in nomination ticket, il
support of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
of wise snd public spirited administra
tion of public affairs in the ensuing
year.

gush about running the people with ex-
travagance, and With all the wild and
aimless hings by the press OF Dakota, no
one of the many belligerent scribes
seems to have stopped to consider what
effect the appropriations will have upon

that with the assessed valuation OF the

three mills of last year, and no additional
burden hiss been placed upon tine people
